Grammy-winning R&B star Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has expressed her gratitude to veteran singer Seyi Sodimu for allowing her to sample his 1997 classic Love Me Jeje in her award-winning song of the same title.



At the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, held on Sunday, Tems' Love Me Jeje won the Best African Music Performance category, beating out strong contenders like Yemi Alade’s "Tomorrow," Asake & Wizkid’s "MMS," Chris Brown’s "Sensational" featuring Davido & Lojay, and Burna Boy’s "Higher."

Following her historic win, Tems took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday to celebrate and acknowledge Sodimu’s support. She described Love Me Jeje as a “timeless classic” and expressed excitement that the original song is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

In her heartfelt post, Tems wrote:

"I just want to thank the wonderful @seyimusic for his role in the support and clearing of his OG song Love Me Jeje. It’s brought the original song back to life for me, and I’m glad that it’s getting its flowers today. A timeless classic. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for your love and support.”

With this win, Tems continues to solidify her status as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, while also shining a spotlight on Nigerian classics for a new generation of listeners.
